SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD
Keyboard and PS/2 mouse ports: 6-pin mini-DIN male to 6-pin mini-DIN male
with all lines connected straight through (1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.). If the PC has a 5-pin
DIN PC/AT style keyboard connector, you will need a PS/2 to PC/AT keyboard
adapter, 6-pin mini-DIN female to 5-pin DIN male (product code FA212.)
If you are not using the Wizard’s optional power supply, the keyboard- and
mouse-extension cables should be no longer than 15 ft. (5 m) in any situation. If
you are using the power supply, you might be able to run keyboard- and mouse-
extension cable, such as the keyboard and mouse strands of our ServSwitch Duo
CPU-Extension Cables (see Section 3.3.4), as far as 100 ft. (30.5 m).
RS-232 serial mouse ports: You’ll need a special adapter with the pinning shown in
Figure A-1 on the next page (product code FA314) to connect the ServSwitch
Wizard’s PS/2 mouse port to the RS-232 port on a PC.
As noted above, PS/2 type mouse cables, such as the mouse strand of our
ServSwitch Duo CPU-Extension Cables (see Section 3.3.4), should be no longer
than 15 ft. (5 m) if you’re not using the optional power supply or 100 ft. (30.5 m) if
you are. If you’re using an adapter at the Wizard end instead of the PC end and are
running regular RS-232 cable, this cable should not be longer than 15 ft. (5 m) if
you’re not using the optional power supply or 50 ft. (15.2 m) if you are.
